@FormulaOneSpy you know a diesel engine doesnt have external ignition; it forces air into the cylinders where the pistons come back up and rise the pressure (from physics you remember that higher pressure=increase in temperature) and the higher temperature ignites the fuel. So the only way to increase the power output of the engine is to use turbo to force as much air in as possible. With gasoline engines there are more variables affecting so naturally aspirated engines are reasonable

like music to my ears.

I think it sounds pretty wicked, at least in the onboard shots
@MakuthePOtHead 15 years ago

true... they are everywhere...
@Nickthebassist01 16 years ago

It sounds beefier than something like a ferrari! I like it.
@babylon2233 15 years ago

Agree. This is an example of a two tier championship

I wish they'd just have all onboard cameras for the next 24 hours of Nürburgring. The first thing they could do is that the Mulsanne Straight proper is just short of the 2 kilometer mark, and the parts before and after the straight proper aren't really that long.

Derek Bell's InCar 956 is my vote for the True Lemans course. OnBoard with a car clocked at 246MPH during the 1983 race.

It doesn't look slow in the car, but it does on camera

Why was there a caution starting at 4:39? You can see Allan wave his hand in frustration there.
@theanswer00 13 years ago

@FormulaOneSpy I totally agree with you... also because a bigger engine means more weight , so it's quite difficult to balance power and weight to actually have less fuel consumption then the petrol opponents
@Twin540i 16 years ago

It doesn't sound loud because the motor is a diesel, low revs, and the Turbos will muffle the sound compared to a 6 liter V-12 Aston Martin DBR9 or Corvette C6R. The car produces 1,100 Nm (811+ lb/ft) of torque between 3,000-5,000 RPM.

sounds more like a vaccum cleaner. found out first hand the beautiful sound at Road America working the front stretch and kettle bottoms.
